There seems to be some confusion on whether or not they test for PEDs when they test. Mayweather fans used to complain that they didn't and now they're complaining about Pac not giving consent to release results of the drug tests while Pac fans remind them that Texas doesn't test for steroids, which is not true.

You're both wrong.

I encourage the mods not to delete this thread as it holds key information on Texas' banned substances that everyone can now see and refer to for any future fights held in TX.

(p) A person who applies for or holds a license as a contestant shall provide a urine specimen for drug testing either before or after the bout, if directed by the executive director or his designee. The applicant or licensee is responsible for paying the costs of the drug screen.

(q) A positive test (which has been confirmed by a laboratory authorized by the executive director or his designee) for any of the following substances shall be conclusive evidence of a violation of subsection (o).

The argument was that when Texas decides to test that they don't test for steroids. In other words that PED's aren't on the banned substance list. Margarito and Pac WERE tested and therefore cannot have any of the listed substances in their system. Pay attention.

The question......Now what happens in case of a pos test?

The answer........What test, if both parties agree to forgo the testing.

Freddy is a sneaky bastard, he wanted Margs tested cause he knows TX. Plus they wanted to look like the good guys, throw the suspition off of what they were doing...
Reverse!!!!!!!

They thought this would raise suspition about the sample Margs had to give, nope everybody instantly asked about Mannys.
But manny has no sample/pre fight tests...

That's understandable for a fight that doesn't undergo any testing, but Pacquiao vs Margarito did have testing.

I upsized the part where it says any of the following substances. Meaning if and when they do test, anobolic steroids are tested.
